Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Choose a variable for the number.</u>

let the number be "x"

<u>Make an equation</u> with the information from the problem. Break down each part of the problem and change it to the algebraic form (numbers and symbols).

"When 8 is added to"               8 +  

"3 times a certain number"       3x

"the result is the same as"         =

"adding 12 to"                            12 +

"twice the number"                   2x

Put the equation back together with each of the parts.

8 + 3x = 12 + 2x

<u>Now isolate "x"</u> to the left side to find the number.

8 + 3x - 2x = 12 + 2x - 2x       Subtract 2x from both sides

8 + x = 12                           "x" is only on the left side

8 - 8 + x = 12 - 8                Subtract 8 from both sides

x = 4                             Solved for the number

Therefore the number is 4.

Answer:

7x+54

Step-by-step explanation:

because you distribute the 7 to the x and the 8 first then you bring that down which becomes 7x+56 then you to the addition so you do 56+-2 which would give you 54.

H0w to subtract 3/5 - 2/9 =
pochemuha
So here first you have to have same denominators to subtract and add.
to make same denominator you have to multiply something to them which meets up to their lowest common multiple (LCM). so here the easiest thing is multiply each denominator to the other but remember you have to multiply them to the numerator too.
3×9/5×9-2×5/9×5
so it becomes
27/45-10/45
17/45
as you cant bring to its simplest form since the answer in a prime no. leave it like that.
